A stalwart of the Australian Grime scene, OSSA (@ossaprod) delivers ‘Palpitate’ a heart-racing 140bpm Grime/Dubstep hybrid with wobbly bass and icy cold synth. It’s another example of how OSSA has helped keep Grime culture alive and well both regionally and abroad. 

Whether it's through his radio show on Pirate88 FM, hearing one of his instrumentals in a cypher/radio set, or clashing other producers with war dubs, OSSA has helped cultivate a local scene that’s now feeding back to the UK and energising its original founders; with support from Logan Sama and Sir Spyro, as well as having produced a track for legendary Grime MC Trim.

OSSA - Palpitate

It’s hard to pinpoint Boorloo boy R15+’s (@turn2jelly)  ‘FEEL U’ down to a specific genre. Elements of Acid House, Big Beat and Bass appear throughout, but the beauty of the track is in it’s flexibility. Conceptualised in 2018, the track is still as fresh as ever, reflecting the cross-pollination of styles in today’s dance music landscape. 

Rugged basslines, compressed breakbeats and synthesiser-generated loops crescendo into an infectious construction that captures the contemporary intermingling and intersecting of genres in today’s club culture.

R-15+ - FEEL U

For the fourth track in the compilation Nora Zion (@norazion1) delivers ‘They Don’t Know’, an ode to the Chicago Footwork scene and producers like DJ Rashad and DJ Spinn. 

At 160 BPM, the track allows her to seamlessly flow between the hyper rhythmic shapes and offbeat drum machine patterns of the genre and the halftime, soulful R&B stylings of her own vocals, a liminal space in which she feels most comfortable.

Arcane & Jon1st (A2) Arpe Diem (abbrv. version)

or Maloca's 9th installment, Le Motel returns to his own imprint and joins forces with UK's versatile pidgin rap experimentalist Magugu. After their 2021 Shoalin collaboration, these 2 prolific artists embark on a new musical voyage. Their upcoming 4-track EP “Kindness Weakness” carefully intersects Bass, UK Garage, Grime and Jungle.

Magugu is a Nigerian poet who fluently unifies Afrobeat, Dancehall with Grime and Drum and Bass. While performing Magugu raps in Pidgin, which is an English-based creole language spoken in Nigeria. For more than a decade he's been making a name for himself as a Cardiff-based artist with a distinguishable raw voice. After numerous releases on his own imprint GUGUGANG Records, the Pidgin Rap Guru also released on cutting-edge labels like Deep Medi Musik and Critical Music and has worked with significant artists like My Nu Leng, Phase and Chad Dubz.

On Topper is a Jungle/Baile anthem about reaching goals in life, regardless of who steps in your way. Blend is about being an individual that doesn’t fit in with the crowd. Everyone should make their own decisions. Kindness Weakness refers to the fact that some people view kindness as a weakness. Yet everybody has had their share of dark moments too. The final track portrays the softer side of the duo's artistic versatility. A laid back UK Garage groove accompanied by Magugu's soothing voice. Let me down represents finding inner peace and creating your own happiness because in life there are too many people who will let you down. This one goes out to making a promise to yourself and never giving up.

Launched in 2020, Maloca Records aims to bring together an international network of artists. Maloca Vol. 1, featuring tracks by Nick León, OMAAR, DJ JM, Dengue Dengue Dengue, Coen, DJ N.K. and Tsongo. Maloca has also released solo EP's from Howie Lee, Farsight, Griffit Vigo, DJ JM and Yuto Takei.
